How event weeks work
The closest airport (often ASE) handles principals and guests by private jet; SkyMatch flies the final segment by helicopter into the event window. Slots are pre-booked, ground handling is coordinated with the operator, and onward yacht / venue transfers are stitched in.
Airports & jet gateways
Principals and guests typically arrive by private jet into Aspen / Rifle (ASE) or the nearest business-aviation FBO. SkyMatch coordinates the helicopter leg into the event helipad, ground handling and onward transfers — usually taking the door-to-door time from hours to minutes during the event window.
What you get
- Confirmed slot at the event helipad.
- VIP terminal handling at ASE.
- Crew, luggage and security coordinated end-to-end.
- Backup aircraft on standby for high-value movements.
Booking recommendations & empty legs
Slot allocations at Aspen X Games tighten quickly — request quotes 6–12 weeks ahead where possible. During peak corridors we frequently surface empty-leg opportunities, and you can model your budget in the Charter Budget & Cost Planner. SkyMatch Group is an independent platform matching you with qualified licensed operators — quotes, availability and pricing are provided by third-party operators and subject to their terms.
